In hour one of Here & Now’s April 6, 2018 full broadcast, NBC’s Beth Fouhy and Associated Press reporter Jesse Holland join Here & Now’s Lisa Mullins and Peter O’Dowd to discuss the week in politics, including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s future and the latest on tariffs. Also, the U.K. ambassador to the U.S. tells us there’s “no doubt” the nerve agent used in last month’s poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia was Russian. And China is the largest importer of soybeans in the world, and the U.S. is one of the largest exporters. That means Chinese tariffs would be bad news for U.S. soy producers — but welcome news for soybean farmers in Brazil.
